These are my questions: 1. Sofa and chairs: I love the modern look, but what the designer suggested does not look comfortable at all. This is the sofa that I really liked at room&board but it does cost twice as much as I would like to spend on a sofa: 2. Area rug - I was thinking 8' by 10' and something in beige. I have no idea if I should first get the rug or first get the sofa and then chose the rug...Also, besides overstock where else I could get a rug that I wont have to worry about trashing (I have two small children). 3. Wall art - I love the idea of one big piece of art but how would it be centered? on the sofa or on the wall (the sofa wont be centered on the wall)? Also, both my husband and I are NOT art people and we just don't know if we should get something abstract or no? Needless to say we don't want to spend too much on art and I have been looking on overstock.com, but there is just too much our there... or what else?? 4. Should I consider moving the sofa at 90 degrees facing the kitchen?

Sarah, can you add some pictures so we can see the style and color that you have in the room now? Also tell us what style YOU like - traditional, rustic, modern, etc.

I would like to see built-ins on each side of fireplace. Tv on one side, bottom of built-ins storag for some toys books etc above. Group sofa chairs around fireplace of course leave space for kids to play. On long wall find old pic books maybe Audubon prints or flowers, take them to craft store find ready made frames then have them cut mats then frame them. they should show you how to put them together. also pics of kids on built-in shelves. Built-ins can be made from knock-down cabinets.
